I don't understand the 'top post' thing, but I'll comply :) My mail client always puts my cursor at the top. 

Anyway, I tried the two patches Thilo sent a bit ago, with the same error. "Audio format is not supported". I'm trying now to hack away at these lines...


if (basic_desc->mFormatID == kAudioFormatLinearPCM &&
        ctx->audio_float &&
        ctx->audio_bits_per_sample == 32 &&
        ctx->audio_packed) {
        stream->codec->codec_id = ctx->audio_be ? AV_CODEC_ID_PCM_F32BE : AV_CODEC_ID_PCM_F32LE;
    } else if (basic_desc->mFormatID == kAudioFormatLinearPCM &&
        ctx->audio_signed_integer &&
        ctx->audio_bits_per_sample == 16 &&
        ctx->audio_packed) {
        stream->codec->codec_id = ctx->audio_be ? AV_CODEC_ID_PCM_S16BE : AV_CODEC_ID_PCM_S16LE;
    } else {
        av_log(s, AV_LOG_ERROR, "audio format is not supported\n");
        return 1;
    }

I'd like to throw more details in the av_log() call. This patch held a lot of promise but something is still amiss. How would I log 'ctx', or even 'ctx->audio_bits_per_sample'?

Thanks to both of you for the help so far! Being able to record my screen and mic audio is exciting to say the least!
